Description:Renowned pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimardâ??s recording of Olivier Messiaenâ??s Catalogue dâ??Oiseaux created a sensation when first released on PENTATONE in 2018, and now returns to the market in an attractively-priced stereo re-issue. Aimard had intimate ties to the composer himself and his wife, Yvonne Loriod, for whom Messiaen wrote the Catalogue, a grand hymn to nature from a man who never ceased to marvel at the stupefying beauty of landscapes or the magic of bird song. With his Catalogue, Messiaen tried â?? in his own words â?? â??to render exactly the typical birdsong of a region, surrounded by its neighbours from the same habitat, as well as the form of song at different hours of the day and night,â? suggesting an almost scientific approach to his subjects. The idea of â??reproductionâ?? may have been central to Messiaenâ??s conception of the Catalogue dâ??Oiseaux, but in the finished work we hear a great composer at work, a master of innovative structures who finds an astonishing range of piano sonorities. Thanks to Aimardâ??s ability to evoke this colourful opus, his interpretation has turned into an absolute reference recording.This first release within Aimardâ??s exclusive partnership with PENTATONE received many accolades, including a Jahrespreis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik. Since then, recordings of Beethoven (2021), Bartók (2023, with San Francisco Symphony and Esa-Pekka Salonen) and Schubert (2024) have appeared on PENTATONE, as well as piano four hands albums with Tamara Stefanovich (Visions in 2022 and Nicolaou: Etudes &; Frames in 2023). -
